LOS ANGELES county CA under bird quarantine :(

Isn't the latest CA strain from Honduras?

It's a cross between ca2002, belize2007 and honduras2008.

Shows you what a joke the whole thing is. If poultry plants would practice adequate bio-security they wouldn't have to worry about what's happening outside their walls.

The biosec that large commercial farms require is extremely strict for outsiders. Some are tighter than military installations. They are mostly all inside or if out usually under roofed enclosures. An animal rights group went into Sonoma County and stole chickens, they had to be given back, because the protesters breached biosec, thousands of birds got killed. The farm later closed.

Given all that, there's only one plausible way the virus could have entered: A worker brought it in. A worker involved in cockfighting would be at particularly high risk. The farms won't like this but perhaps the next reg should be on-site showers and fresh biosuits/booties each day for workers at least in California.

They had to give back the chickens?
That’s so sad that they were all killed.

There are 5 pathotypes of Newcastles. Velogenic (referred to as Virulent), causes severe to fatal illness.

Hmm. I read somewhere that Mexico had been declared VND free for export purposes in 2015. The 12/2018 usda study says CA2018 is resistant to vaccine strains largely used in Mexico.

And that is the down side of vaccines, the virus develops into another strain that is not affected. Of course, Mexico is going to do and say what works for Mexico and whether they are believed or not, is up to whatever country wants to roll the dice in that direction.

People asked for more video evidence.

Here is video of them not utilizing gas correctly:

Here's video of them pulling out just deceased chickens from the trash can and testing them IFO owners:

Like I said, there's a debate over whether the wider euth is necessary. But this certainly is not.

If they're testing on site that means they're doing an antibody test, correct?

Better to pass those costs onto those who actually buy their products than onto everyone via taxes to pay for their chicken genocide and private chicken owners who suffer huge emotional damage from their cruelty.

Testing the birds after they have been gassed is pointless if the test comes back negative for vND.

It looks like there's actually a quick antib0dy-antigen agglutination test on the market. This would detect both antibodies and virus/pieces of virus. IDK if they're using one specific to CA2018 though...https://www.researchgate.net/public...ibody_titer_level_in_pre_and_post_vaccination

Just a guess, but if anything comes back positive, a new perimeter is set up and the killing continues...
